Terry dropped me back to Ace's house.I locked my door and sat in my room watching movies for the rest of the day. It had turned 12 am and Ace still wasn't home; He was probably still mad. I'm not angry at him, I don't think I ever was. I think I was shocked and afraid of him for a moment.My eyes were struggling to stay open as I watched the movie. I was woken up by a knock on my door before I paused the film and sat in my bed."Sofia" Ace muttered sounding like he was almost scared to say my name. I didn't reply. "Can you open the door?" He asked, his tone was softer than usual. I slowly wandered over to the door. I assume he was able to tell I had come over due to my light footsteps approaching the door. "Are you still angry?" I questioned him, probably sounding tired. "No" he mumbled quietly.I knew that his explosive anger was due to his grief and adrenaline but it wasn't acceptable. I unlocked the door before quickly walking back over to my bed.Ace entered the room and all you

ACE'S POV:She had fallen asleep quite quickly after our conversation, I don't blame her. She was only waiting to sleep until I walked in.She snored slightly causing me laugh quietly. It's the little things about her that I like, the simple things; the colour of her hair or the way her eyes glow when she happy. She's beautiful to watch and I could do it all day if I had the option without seeming creepy.She began to stir, obviously having a nightmare. "Sofia" I whispered, trying to wake her. "Stop it" she hushed me before grabbing my arm and forcing it around her. I snickered as I tried to stay quiet; she was strong when she wanted something.Part of me thought I'd never find myself in girls bed being so happy just holding her. I knew she was slowly creeping her way into my heart but I couldn't stop it. I just hope I don't ruin her like the way I ruin everything else."I may be the person you like the most but you're the only person I like" I muttered softly into her ear, planting a
Sofia's POV:Ace had to go to work, leaving me horny and alone.It was so boring since Ace took my phone when I was first living there and still hasn't given it back. I went through most of day walking around and talking to a few of Ace's bodyguards. Especially Terry, I liked Terry, he was cool.Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I peeked my head around the corner, no one usually knocks, they all just stroll in as if they own the place. I peeked my head out of the window to see Cara, Scarlett and Riley standing at the door.I don't like these girls but I can't just speak to Ace all the time; I'd go crazy.I opened it; Hopefully Ace won't be angry. "Come on girl, we're going clubbing" Scarlett cheered while dancing, making me laugh. "Tonight?" I questioned. "Yeah" Cara nodded persistently. "I don't knowww" I sighed, knowing Ace wouldn't let me go."Call Ace, tell him you're going and that you'll be back by 12 am, no big deal" Riley shrugged like it was no big deal. "He's um- he's
Sofia's POV:Cara, Scarlett and Riley had dragged me to some nightclub. I didn't want to go, I just wanted to wait for Ace to get home and then go to sleep but no. Instead I had to drink, dance and probably end up looking stupid.We showed our fake ID's and got in. "Guys I think this dress is a little too short, Ace is going to kill me" I muttered worriedly to them. "Don't let Ace control what you wear Sofia! You have an amazing body, show it off" Cara hyped me up."Oh my god, look at him" Riley shrieked at the girls. Their heads turned towards a table that had 4 guys sitting around, smoking cigarettes. There's a no smoking sign in front of them on the wall?; Ignorant assholes."Let's get their attention!" Scarlett giggled mischievously, pulling us onto the dance floor. "No guys, I'm engaged to be married, I don't want any other man's attention" I reminded them. "Then just dance for yourself, have funnn" Cara giggled, grabbing shots of vodka off of the waitress walking by us. This was
Cara approached us, joining the conversation."She hates attention" Cara murmured while downing shots of vodka, pointing over at me. "Cara relax on the drinks" Riley scolded as she snatched it away from her. "Get them away" Santi snapped his fingers, signaling his goons to take my friends to one of the other tables. "Sofia, Ace is going to be madddddd" Riley yelled crazily at me. I instantly felt my heart stop at the mention of Ace's name; The most notorious man in the Mafia."Who's Ace and you told me your name was Lexi?" Santiago's face became angry, his eyebrows frowning and his jaw clenched. "Oh Ace is my brother and as for my name, I use my middle one when I'm partying" I said the first lie that came to my head."Ace......" he waited for a response. "Hernandez" Scarlett shouted as she winked at me, thinking she was doing me a favour. How did she even know his second name?. I must've told her at the sleepover and forgot. Well, there goes my life; not like it was a good one anyway.
"Aceeeee," I asked in a high-pitched tone, signaling to him that I wanted something."What?" he hissed at me from behind his office door. He's been so angry lately. "Fine then" I muttered walking away; I'll just do it since he doesn't seem to care anymore.I know he's a mafia boss but can he try and be nice for once, would it kill him?.I took out my laptop that Ace had gotten me when I first moved in, well forced me to move in. I signed up for a private school and I may have used Ace's bank card but it's ok. He'll find out eventually. I chose a school that specifically had ties to a medical school or collage.I can only hope it'll be a drama-free year.I sat on my phone waiting patiently for an email back.I finally heard the ding after an hour. I almost had a heart attack, not gonna lie. I threw myself out of the bed and opened the email.I was accepted, how the fuck was I accepted? I've missed like a million days but I guess my grades made up for it. It did say in the email that I
I lifted my head off of the cold concrete ground, at least today I get to go to school.Raul opened the basement door for me. "He shouldn't be punishing her as that" Stefano snapped at Raul. "I can't do anything about it" Raul responded challenging him. "How about you just leave the door unlocked so that she can go up to her room and sneak back down in the morning, you dumb piece of shit" Stefano shoved Raul, trying to force him to move out of his way."I can't!" Raul growled. "It's ok Stefano" I rubbed my eyes, slowly rising from the floor. "You're not allowed food, father's warning" Raul informed me with an uncomfortable expression on his face. "This is fucking bullshit" Stefano snarled at his brother. "She's our sister!". Raul rolled his eyes, not wanting to listen to Stefano's rant anymore."Here" Stefano handed me a sandwich. "If father asks, blame it on me" Stefano assured me. "Thanks, Stefano" I kissed his cheek before leaving for school.It was a long walk, grueling walk, espe
